They gave me a £200 discount for the misrepresentation (car was already reasonably priced). They're putting it through prep now.

I just read the other bit you posted on it. Do you intend on keeping it for long?

Yeah. I purposely got one with low miles (35k) so I can just keep up with servicing and run it for a good few years. The severe unreliability of the Panda left a bad taste in my mouth.

Should be decently reliable car, I would have spent the extra to get a Sandero (just to say I had one)

I like having a tiny car since most of my driving is in the city. Plus the cheapest sandero has the same basic engine but weighs a lot more, the Twingo is already slow haha.

It is a good fun little car to chuck about. Very stable with no body roll, whereas the Panda was very top heavy. Plus it's slow enough that I wont be able to get myself in too much trouble.

It's a touch faster in the real world than the Panda (due to the comical turbo lag on the Fiat) and definitely more fun to drive in the twistys. Much more sorted chassis than most little cars.

That said I wouldnt mind upgrading to an RS 133 one day. I'd have got one if it wasn't for the insurance.
